Abstract :
To investigate the effect of nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients from organic and chemical fertilizers sources, on their efficiency in purslane, a field experiment based on complete randomized block design was conducted at the Research Farm of Shahrekord University in 2014. Treatments were 13 t.ha-1 broiler litter (T1), 14.4 t.ha-1 broiler litter (T2), 39 t.ha-1 cattle manure (T3), 16.8 t.ha-1 cattle manure + 150 kg.ha-1 urea (T4), four chemical fertilizer levels equivalent to organic manure treatments, 260+86 kg.ha-1 urea +triple super phosphate, respectively (T5), 287+100 kg.ha-1 urea + triple super phosphate, respectively (T6), 260+200 kg.ha-1 urea + triple super phosphate, respectively (T7), 260+100 kg.ha-1 urea + triple super phosphate, respectively (T8) and control (T0). The results showed that T2 treatment produced 8345 kg.ha-1 of dry matter as compared with those of other fertilizer treatments (P<0.05). This indicate that nitrogen and phosphorus efficiencies in T2 treatment were significantly higher than other treatments (P<0.05). In the mean time, nitrogen efficiency in T5 and T7 were not significantly different. However, phosphorus efficiency in T2 (52.6 %) indicated significant difference as compared with the other treatments. Nitrogen physiological efficiency of treatment in T2 (35.02 kg.kg-1) and T8 (31.6 kg.kg-1), and also P physiological efficiency in T1 and T5 were not significantly different. As a whole, the higher N physiological efficiency and also physiological efficiency of phosphorus in broiler litter reflect the ecological role of organic manure application in the production of purslane. This can also help environmental protection, as well as preventing loss of resources and phosphorus accumulation in the cropland soils.
